I'm rock solid overclocked to 4.0ghz

 

So in XTU and during benchmarks there is no throttling? You are holding for a 5 min test? Can you go over 4ghz?

In the event viewer, I don't see anything at the time I got the popup: "nvidia driver not responding and has recovered." This seems weird.

The only error I found there at a different time is I think related to the onboard Intel graphics driver. The below message seems to suggest that the Intel HD graphics service could not be started. I wonder if this is normal since this service can only run when I restart the laptop in non-Nvidia-GPU mode.

Application Log:
Faulting application name: igfxCUIService.exe, version: 6.15.10.3995, time stamp: 0x544e8d10
Faulting module name: igfxCUIService.exe, version: 6.15.10.3995, time stamp: 0x544e8d10
Exception code: 0xc0000005

System Log:
The Intel(R) HD Graphics Control Panel Service service terminated with the following error:
Unspecified error

 

The Nvidia driver crash / recovery takes longer now, it should recover to the desktop, where you should close apps and reboot - the nvidia display driver doesn't recover back to full speed, you need to reboot for full performance.

If it does happen again, you have a 2 year warranty so if you want to delay the RMA a bit you can run on the single good GPU until it's convenient.

Good luck

 

When you are in Nvidia GPU mode , the Intel iGPU isn't available, so loading will fail.

The GT80 switches between Intel and Nvidia using the GPU button to the left of the power switch (GPU switch light is on).

GPU switching requires the MSI SCM app loaded to switch, and a reboot to take effect - it will prompt you to reboot if SCM is loading and working.

 

Congrats on the quick RMA!!

How long did it take from sent to receive fixed?

It looks like Windows 10 is the default reload / recovery now at MSI RMA group. Too bad...

I wonder if you request Windows 8.1 loaded instead before RMA, if they will do it.

You can use your MSI BurnRecovery created USB 3.0 32GB flash recovery boot drive to restore the original out of the box Windows 8.1 configuration.

Don't forget to make another MSI BurnRecovery USB 3.0 32GB flash recovery boot drive for Windows 10 before you blow it away by loading Windows 8.1 again.

 

The one thing not reported so far, is if the 6820HK OC's all 4 cores, as the spec says it is Turbo Boost limited to 3.2ghz for 4 cores, 3.4ghz for 2 cores, and 3.6ghz for 1 core.

Are all 4 cores running at 4ghz?

 

Test it out. No major problems should arise. Try the latest drivers and see if everything is stable. Not every titan has the issue with nvidia drivers so no reason not to try. Worst case you can return to the working drivers

 

Hey, I'm having another problem. I downloaded the MSI live update; but when I launch it, I get the following message "The platform does not support this application." On the support section of the GT80, it says this supports Windows 10 64 bit, can anyone help me with this?

 

What site? USA, Global, ? - Which model GT80(S) SLI-??? download area?

This is the site I accessed, and there are no downloads, except for Help Desk, showing as available.

http://us.msi.com/product/notebook/support/GT80S-TITAN-SLI-6th-Gen-GTX-980M-SLI.html#down-help-desk

MSI Live Update hasn't been available for the GT80, if the GT80S has it, that's new

Update: Great... now for the GT80 models, the *only* download available is MSI Live Update... downloading to try it... sigh... for all Windows versions...

http://us.msi.com/product/notebook/support/GT80-Titan-SLI-GTX-980M-SLI-5.html#down-utility&Win10 64

Same for me, Windows 8 x64 MSI Live Update downloaded, installed, but when I run it get that same dialog:


Filing a complaint with MSI support...

Your request has been sent successfully.
Your MSI TS ticket number: TS111915XXXXXX

I suggest everyone file a complaint with MSI, to get MSI's attention to get the direct downloads restored.

Update 2: The 4th Generation models still have the direct downloads, so only the 5th and 6th generation models have a messed up download area

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! Screenshots!

 

Thank you!

BTW - how do I prove that nvidia on my laptop crashed? There is no event viewer message. The only thing I can do is take a screen shot of the pop up - if it shows up the next time. Most of the times my laptop just freezes. May be like you said - if I wait for a longer time - nvidia will eventually recover and go back to my desktop.

Will I need to give them evidence for RMA? I am also wondering if they are not able to reproduce the issue within the few attempts they make, will they return the laptop back without making any changes?

 

It does help to have a screen shot, I keep "snipping tool" pinned to my taskbar for taking small section screen shots.

What does help are instructions they can follow to recreate the problem.

Usually furmark will trigger a bad GPU, one that fails at stock settings, check it out

http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

Try running the Preset:1080p benchmark, if that isn't enough to trigger the failure, try the Stress test, if it doesn't happen quickly you might need to bump up the GPU clocks a bit, or patiently wait till it fails to get a screen shot.

 

One other thing - when I was updating my nvidia driver to the latest version today, there was a popup that showed some error - even though it seemed like the driver was installed successfully. Attached is a screen shot of the error. I searched on google about this, but I am not clear if this is nvidia's problem.

In any case, I reinstalled the driver by manually downloading the update from the website and running it - and I didn't get any error.

 

I have gotten that on occasion, when a program exits and another part tries to kill it and finds it is already gone, so no, I wouldn't worry about it.

You could do a DDU uninstall of all Nvidia drivers from Safe Mode, and then do a fresh install of the latest Nvidia driver, to start out with a clean slate.

NOT going over 4.0 at this time but 0 throttling on stress test

 

Hi,
I want to ask, the gt80 2qe, is it compatible with ssd m.2 pcie?
It will just be bottleneck or will not works?

Another question:
I have 2 ssd m.2 128 on raid 0 i want to get 2 other ssd 256, can i put them on a second raid 0, to get a partition of 512,
Just want to keep the 2x128 as system partition and the 2 others as games and cie partition

 

they

they are msata not pciex

adding 2 msata to the existing should be possible, also should be possible to define them as a different raid system and volume...
I have 4 in sata identical (4x256) working as my master boot disk.

 

New DDR3

Are you sure? Gt80 have m.2 sata not msata, and i think pcie is compatible with m.2, only it will not be at full speed

 

Nice and crazy
Can you give me a small guide or some link to be crazy like you

 

The CPU and cores Unparked? Does that make any difference when you OC it at all?

how much you improved? do you see only in testbench or also in real life?

 

+- 2% ):

 

300 euros for 2% looks too much to me are you using custom bios?
How much u do running my testbench?

 

No 300€

111€ france

 

I think you misunderstood me, i talk about the overclock, how you did it, costume bios? and what about temperatures and noises?

 

Vbios unlock yes

No Bios unlock no possible Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

I'm just curious, but where can I find an unlocked vBIOS for my 980m SLI? I know the risks involved, but hell, it would give me something to do over the holidays lol.

We have to paid?

 

yes don 15€ my

 

There is not another way? I have no way to pay on internet.

 

You contact

My pay Via paypal

 

Not strictly true, as many people (myself included) have been getting this error on the desktop occasionally with drivers after 353.62. These drivers are totally stable for me (I've never seen that message). But with later drivers I get it. Usually on the desktop though, from memory not in games.

 

Well just tried, and the 359.00's are not stable for me either. The usual driver restarts from the desktop. Back to the 353.62's then, as they are the last drivers that are actually stable. come on Nvidia, get your act together.....

 

Yeah... not paying for a vBIOS...

 

What about prema vbios?

 

If you have the GT80 a vbios is already out there (discussed several times in this thread even) if you have a GT80s you will have to wait since the skylake chipset is completely different.

 

I have gt80 2qe

 

Right so you are good with the current vbios released by Prema, please be sure to donate for some pub money though through his website https://biosmods.wordpress.com/

FYI its the CLEVO vbios for non gsync.

 

Has anyone had a chance to test the Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra? HIDevolution offers it as a step above the IC diamond paste.

Thanks for trying them out. I think if I get crazy enough I am going to do a complete install from zero to win 10 and see if the issue persists. It's such an odd issue.

 

Yes, some users have It is among the best options with the higher risk if you are not sure of what you are doing hahaha. The improvement comes more from properly applying the paste rather than the paste itself, when using high end stuff.

If you want to use it, go ahead. In my case I would rather apply it myself

 

I just did a search on the website for it and stupid me can't find it... even in this thread...

 

Is this what you're talking about?

Its a pain for sure as I don't have the SLI profile for Assassins Creed Syndicate as I'm still on older drivers. I thought that having Geforce Experience installed would give you SLI profiles independent of needing to install certain drivers, but I guess not in this particular case. Plus I can't play Battlefront as it flat refuses to load unless the GPU driver is updated (the game actually gives you a message window about your out of date driver and refuses to run as a result).

My GT80 is running the install of Win8.1 in came with, and each time I've tried a new drivers I've done it using custom installed and a clean install option for the Nvidia driver set. Not sure what else I'm supposed to do lol. Hopefully Nvidia sort their lives out soon, and/or MSI post an updated driver set for the GT80. The current driver set on the MSI website is even older than the 353.62's.

 

Yeah but we have nvidia with their silly releases, with not even 10 days pass and we have new drivers which are also broken in other aspects hahaha.

If you want to play battlefront, just use the trick I mentioned before. when you boot up your machine, immediately restart and use it, that way you can play games without the fear it will crash. As for Assassins creed, I believe we can extract SLI profiles from newer drivers and incorporate them to our current drivers.

But yeah hopefully MSI will also release a driver on their own so we can have newer ones. I think it's silly how we are needing a new driver for each new game coming out. It doesn't make sense.
